re: College Football Week 1/Futures Bet Thread

In Vegas last week i caught part of a handicapper on the radio. Re o/u season totals he mentioned cincy (over) and BYU under.

You can download his college preview if you search for sportscheetah on Twitter. Part of wagertalk.com I think.

Anyone you hear on the radio, especially in Las Vegas, talking about sports betting, are paid touts who are full of total bullshite. They don't know shite, they are not experts, they are losers, they just pay for their airtime, so they can lure people to their tout pick selling scam websites like sheep to the slaughter. I know, I used to work at ESPN Radio in Las Vegas. These guys are all scamming touts.

Just went to Wagertalk website you talked about, and the first name I see is Scott Spreitzer, then I see Marco D'Angelo, both are well known LOSING touts who have been scamming and freerolling people for years. Marco D'Angelo used to be at PreGame but quit because his long term record(that he lied and embellished) got exposed by the users there. He claimed he was hitting over 60% on all his picks in every sport and then someone named Comptrbob, who tracked all his picks, said no, you are a long term loser across the board. Scott Spreitzer is former PreGame trash as well.

Read this article that exposed PreGame and the tout industry:

How America’s Favorite Sports Betting Expert Turned A Sucker’s Game Into An Industry

The sad thing is that even though this article pretty much exposes PreGame, RJ Bell, and the touts, that morons like Colin Cowherd and ESPN will still use him as their "betting expert" and lend their credibility to him so he can continue to rope more idiots into wasting money on their picks.

This is a good twitter account to follow, who exposes touts as well. So if you ever wonder if a certain person you hear on the radio is a scamming tout or not(if you hear them on the radio, they are), this twitter account will be able to answer that for you:

@VegasWatch

EDIT: Just looked up @sportscheetah on Twitter.... LMAO... that account is run by Johnny Detroit who was RJ Bell's main carnival barker on PreGame for YEARS... he doesn't have a master degree in ANYTHING! HE IS A LIAR!

Good God I just checked out SportsCheetah's website... and watched a few of his Week 1 College Football videos...

This guy calls himself an expert with a master's degree who is a big volume better on college football because he is so smart?>

Watch his video about Texas A&M-UCLA: LINK

Pathetic! 3 minutes of rambling about bullshite. Basically he rambles, and says "I like UCLA because their QB is better". Hard hitting analysis there bro! That's how a 10 year old would cap a football game. And this guy has the audacity to call himself an expert and charge people for picks.

Then I watch his Iowa-Miami video. Same garbage that a beginner handicapper would exhibit. 3 minutes of bullshite rambling. "Both Iowa and Miami are the same teams as last year", no, they aren't. "28 points is a lot to cover for a team that runs the ball a lot". LOL! That's some expertise level analysis there! Not like the bookmakers already have that factored into the line or anything.

Honestly think LSU rolls Wisconsin pretty bad. I'll probably bet an adjusted line.

I need to go back and look at my stuff. I had a few lines I really liked

I can see how having past spreads and performance at your fingertips can be helpful.

It certainly helps get a bead on what the oddsmakers are favoring and that can be a nice edge.

It certainly helps but you can't rely on it, its simply a tool

Football is so hard. Any sport is hard. Lost my arse in 2012 and 2013, I did well in 2014, and then last year I tried the same approach I did in 2014 and it didn't work. Books are always a step ahead.

Experience is the #1 way to get better at betting, simply because you become wiser. The first year I bet on college football I was an idiot, using elementary capping techniques "That teams sucks! They will get killed! Cover!" or "That team has a shitty QB, they won't win" or "Both teams have shitty offenses, under!".

I'd say the biggest difference from beginner to non-begginer is you begin to bet numbers and line moves, not teams. The only way you get better by betting numbers is having experience having seen that number or line move or RLM in the past.

LSU Clemson teaser. Yes please

I have capped the Clemson-Auburn game and they are the play in that game, but I have gotten to the LSU game yet. But just at first glance before diving into any of the numbers it reminds me a lot of that Syracuse game last year. I'd be careful.

I've currently got
Tennessee -22.5
LSU -10
Ohio State -27.5
Georgia -3

As a fourfold

Once the 1H lines come out I'll be more active, had a great year last year so hoping for more of the same

I will put you down as a slight skeptic.

I didn't ask you to pay for picks, only pointing out 2 futures picks. I think Cincy with an experienced QB is a good over pick and BYU breaking in a new regime with a tough schedule will struggle to win 8. So, I put a couple of c-notes on the parlay.

Ehh, I wasn't implying you were trying to get me to buy picks, I was just pointing out how trusting a tout on the radio is not wise because they are salesmen, not handicapping experts.
